SILM Pre-Thanksgiving Community Breakfast @ Online
Nov 20 – Nov 25 all-day

Our Pre-Thanksgiving Community Breakfast has been an annual tradition since 1957, hosted by the Soroptimist International of La Mesa, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. Traditionally, the event has been an in-person breakfast program held at The Handlery in Mission Valley, honoring outstanding citizens who serve our community.

This year the event is virtual, due to Covid-19 related concerns, but we hope to return to our regular in-person event next year. Please join us in celebrating the Holidays from the comfort of your home by watching a 20 minute Pre-Thanksgiving Breakfast video highlighting our programs, projects, and Live Your Dream and Youth awards.

The video presentation will be available from Sunday, November 21 through November 24, 2021, here and on Facebook: facebook.com/silamesa.
